Terror is defined as a state of intense or overwhelming fear. Terrorism is defined as the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. The term terrorism was first coined in the 1790s to refer to the terror used during the French Revolution by the revolutionaries against their opponents. It then gradually began to be used to describe the use of violent force by a state against domestic opponents to more recent-day definitions of being considered as violence aimed at governments to influence their policies or overthrow an existing regime.
India has been victim to the scourge of terrorism for more than four decades with activities involving killings, massacres, and bombings against the nation and its people having been carried out as recently as Pulwana (2019).
Out of the more than 100 attacks of terrorism since the 1980s, the six attacks that truly shook India were:
*1993 Bombay Blasts- 260 people killed and more than 700 injured.
*2001 Parliament Attack-9 policemen and a parliament staffer killed.
*2006 Mumbai Train Bombing- 209 people killed and more than 700 injured.
*2008 26/11 Mumbai attack in 2008- 174 people killed and more than 300 wounded.
*2016 Uri Attack- 18 soldiers killed in an attack on the Indian Army's 12 Brigade headquarters.
*2019 Pulwama Attack- 44 CPRF personnel killed and 20 injured in an attack on the police convoy.
*One such dreaded act of terrorism took place on the 29th of December 2011 sending shudders across the mighty nation of India- and the world.
